“As can be inferred from my opening remarks, my brief
comments on the overall purpose of this collection, and my even
briefer comments on individual chapters, this is an important
contribution to the urgent critical work of recovering,
appropriating and recontextualizing Gramsci’s concepts,
methods and analyses, and, above all, ‘translating’
them for the current conjuncture, in which issues of political
ecology as well as political economy are ever more critical to
human flourishing.” (Antipode, 1 November
2013)

'This well-crafted volume pushes the boundaries of current
debates on Gramsci. Highlighting spatial and geographical
relations, the diverse contributions all share detailed attention
to Gramsci’s writings while opening an array of contemporary
issues including struggles in Brazil, Nepal, India and South
Africa, discussions of gender, class, race and ecology class, and
engagements with theoretical work of Laclau & Mouffe, Lefebvre,
David Harvey, Hardt & Negri and Subaltern Studies. The
contributors have set a hallmark in scholarship that will be very
influential across many fields from critical geography and
international relations to political theory, development studies
and postcolonialism.'—Peter Ives, Department of
Politics, University of Winnipeg, Canada

'From the backwoods to the frontlines, Gramsci’s
geographical imagination receives here the thoroughgoing
exploration it has always deserved. With deep and nuanced
attention to Gramsci’s spatial historicism, this collection
foregrounds the profoundly geographical nature of Gramsci’s
critical consciousness and what it offers for thinking space,
nature and politics relationally. As beautifully considered as its
cover, this book is alive to the ‘earthliness of
thought’ and its political possibilities.'—Cindi
